Life’s too short to settle for a job that hates you back.

Reclaim your spark, get unstuck, and build your dream career!

I help frustrated millennial professionals create a fulfilling career they love so that their work feels meaningful.

Life & Career Alignment

Making money is non-negotiable. Hating your career isn’t.

I get it—we all need to make money. But when you’re feeling unfulfilled with your work, how you spend most of your waking life, it can make you feel trapped and depressed.

When you do work that actually fits who you are, it doesn’t feel like a trap! When you stop forcing yourself into a life you don't want, you get some peace.

Know what you want but can’t seem to get there? We’ll uncover what’s holding you back—and slash through it.

Not exactly sure what you want, but it sure as hell isn’t what you’ve got right now? We’ll figure it out—and get you to it.

Suffering for a paycheck is outdated. Let’s put you on a path that doesn't make you want to fake your own death.

Clarity & Direction

Hoping I’ll hand you the exact path to your dream life?

TOO BAD!

I ain’t got it—YOU do.

That’s right! You already have the latent knowledge, power, and ability to get what you want.

You may be thinking, “then why should I work with you if I’ve already got it all in me?”

Good question! I’m gonna help dig all that good stuff out of you so you can act on it. For most of us, we have a lot of hangups holding us back; making us confused and stuck. Getting outside professional support is INVALUABLE in transforming your life when you have struggled to get past what’s holding you back. I know from experience!

I’m not here to give you advice. What I can give you is authentic, ICF-recognized, professional life coaching designed to connect you with your agency and pathways so that action will flow. We’ll cut through the noise, doubt, and endless “I don’t know” spirals, straight to what actually matters.

The insights you gain here will become your fuel—moving you forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Action & Accountability

Thinking and learning about change isn’t enough—it’s time to move.

If watching YouTube videos and reading self-help books actually produced results, we’d all be millionaires!

Here’s what we’ll do: turn your insights into clear, doable actions that are designed specifically for you and your goals. Because when the insight is strong enough, the action naturally follows.

Your self-sabotage attempts? CANCELLED.

To make sure these these actions aren’t just “good ideas” that fade quietly into the void of your excuses, we’re setting up a personalized accountability plan. Regular check-ins, direct support, and actual human interaction to make sure you’re sticking to your commitments—even when it gets uncomfortable.

Real change isn't about what you know, it's about what you consistently do.

Working With Me

If your life and career feels like a bad party you're awkwardly stuck at, I see you—I’ve been there. Maybe you’ve been grinding in the wrong direction, overthinking every move, or doomscrolling to avoid facing it. Let’s change that!

What You Get:

  • 1:1 Coaching Sessions: Deep clarity, actionable steps, real accountability

The Experience

This is a bold, deep dive into what you truly want, what's holding you back, and how to move forward—without burnout, panic, or existential dread. No hustle-culture nonsense or "just think positive!”

Each session is structured to set clear expectations, explore deep questions, design actionable steps, and create genuine accountability. Fair warning: I’ll ask tough questions, and it may get uncomfortable! But getting uncomfortable is essential to change—and it’s absolutely worth it.

About the Coach

  • Shelby Mirziteh (They/Them)

    Hi—I’m so glad you’re here!
    I coach millennials, especially my fellow LGBTQIA+ folks, helping them get unstuck and finally lead a life of passion and purpose.

    My Story

    I’m a 37-year-old non-binary, transfemme parent and veteran who's lived a wildly dynamic life. I've navigated childhood trauma, combat deployments, careers in massage therapy and technology, marriage, parenthood, divorce, poverty, financial success, and gender transition.

    One of my toughest battles has been moving from "making it" in the corporate world, back into authenticity. I fought hard for that sense of safety, stability, and comfort—but it turned out it was a cage. A comfy, safe cage sure—but still a cage.

    I had to confront my fears, examine my patterns, and honestly decide what kind of life I genuinely wanted—not the one society expected of me. Is it easy? HELL NO! Is it worth it to live authentically? ABSOLUTELY.

    Why Coaching Matters to Me

    I truly believe the world becomes better when more people live authentic, inspired, purpose-driven lives. I've sat in jobs that paid well, yet the thought of doing them until retirement was soul-crushing.

    Coaching, therapy, 100s of books, and a sh*tload of real-life experience taught me that my purpose lives in serving others through transitions—especially those feeling stuck or lost in their careers. There's plenty of personal development stuff out there, but advice alone doesn't change lives. At the end of the day, your actions do.

    Working with a coach for deep insights, targeted actions, and genuine accountability has made all the difference for me—and I know it can for you too.

    Credibility & Certification

    I'm currently completing training at an International Coaching Federation (ICF)-accredited academy, soon obtaining my full ICF certification. This professional training is important to me because while anyone can call themselves a coach, there's a meaningful difference between mentoring from personal experience and professionally trained life coaching.

    Think of coaching as similar to therapy—but instead of focusing primarily on healing past trauma, we’re oriented toward building future success. I’m a strategic thought partner with tools & exercises, and that holds you accountable for following through on the actions you need to take to progress.

    My Coaching Style

    As you've likely sensed by now, my coaching style is playful, direct, supportive—and absolutely no bullsh*t. In sessions, you’ll be the clear focus, and your insights will guide our work. We'll co-design exactly how our coaching partnership looks because your growth isn’t a "one-size-fits-all" experience, even in a planned package.

    Let's Connect

    If this resonates, I'd love to chat with you. Set up a completely free, zero-pressure, 20-minute call to discuss your situation and explore if coaching together feels right. No sales pitch—just genuine connection.
